When you are shopping in supermarkets, you may at times notice the word "UTILITY" on the product description, price sign, or the packaging of Wingtat's poultry products. This word means that this product is classified as U-Grade poultry, but what does U-Grade mean?

It is important to understand that when a consumer buys a U-Graded chicken, it is not a whole (complete) chicken. Thus, utility grade products are not sold at the regular whole chicken pricing. U-Graded poultry are carcasses with part(s) of the skin or limbs have been damaged during the slaughter or dressing process and therefore certain parts of the poultry are removed before packaging. Inspite the removal of part(s), U-Grade poultry will not have dislocated bones nor broken bones (exception would be wings or legs).

U-Graded poultry has been inspected and approved by the Canada Food Inspection Agency to be safe for sale and consumption. If you do not need a whole chicken to be served on the table for special occasions or plating/presentation purposes, a Utility Grade poultry will be just as good for preparing, casual homemade dishes and a good option for soup making. Simply speaking, Utility Grade poultry are birds with minor skin tears or one or more parts missing which in no way affects the quality. There is no quality or taste difference between Grade A or Utility grade chicken.

Egg has a symbolic meaning related to Easter; and a basket of colorful chocolate eggs to hunt for is also a great activity for children to enjoy during the Easter long weekend. Using eggs as an ingredient to incorporate it into your Easter-theme dishes will make the preparation fun and festive! This dish is prepared with delicious shrimp paste that is wrapped around the nutritious quail eggs, then covered with crispy bread crumbs on the outside. This savoury dish could possibly be enjoyed by kids, young and old, more so than the traditional chocolate eggs. This Easter, give this dish a try!

Lettuce is a common vegetable that most families enjoy eating. In addition to serving boiled lettuce with oyster sauce, using lettuce as a cup or a wrap to hold tasty ingredients is a great and innovative idea! Quail is rich in iron and its meat can be easily diced after the bones are removed. The quail is stir-fried together with chopped dried radish, water chestnut, green bean and red sweet pepper. This dish is not only colorful, but also delicious, crisp and refreshing!
